When I first setup my tank, it was relatively quiet. Most of the time, it's just a quiet rumble. I can deal with the occasional minor gurgle, but some days the tank is just straight noisy for hours. No matter what I do, it sounds like a bathtub draining (yes, that loud).
It's a corner overflow with a 3/4" drain and 1/2" return. I've cranked down my return pump to about 500GPH, max is about double. It has a 1.25" drain line that reduces to 1" for the bulkhead, then 1" down to the sump. There is a Maggie Muffler installed at the top that does quiet the drain noise somewhat - it's FAR noisier without it.
Ideas on quieting this thing further?
